How Do I File a Claim after an Amazon Accident with a Delivery Vehicle?

Over the years, Amazon has consistently grown its fleet of vehicles used for delivery. Just a few years ago, Amazon did not have any delivery services; instead it delivered packages through other services such as the USPS, UPS, and FedEx, for instance. As Amazon has started delivering its own packages, there has been a number of accidents involving these delivery vehicles and Amazon delivery drivers. Amazon drivers are not any different than any other delivery drivers; however, Amazon accidents have grown common as the fleet of Amazon drivers and vehicles continue to increase.

Amazon Delivery Accidents

There isn’t a specific reason behind Amazon delivery accidents. Any party that drivers a vehicle and enters a road can be involved in an accident. This applies to drivers that get behind for personal reasons and drivers that get behind the wheel for work reasons. The majority of vehicular accidents are caused by the negligent actions of drivers (and in some cases, the actions of other parties). For instance, accidents could be caused by reckless driving, disregard of traffic rules, and drunk/drugged driving. Accidents could also be caused by poor road conditions. Delivery truck accidents could also be connected to unreasonable work-related expectations. Regardless of the specific situation, you could be sure that there is likely a clear reason behind the accident that you suffered. If the reason is associated with negligence or recklessness, you could pursue a claim.

Amazon and Insurance Coverage

After being involved in an Amazon delivery vehicle accident, you might have many questions. Some of your questions likely surround the insurance coverage that might cover some of your damages.

How to File a Claim after an Amazon Delivery Accident

You were involved in an Amazon delivery accident while you were making deliveries; now, what? What can you do? What are your options? After an Amazon delivery accident, it is essential that you pursue your claim with the insurance company.
As mentioned above, you have to report the accident to the authorities and seek medical attention. In addition to the points mentioned above, you should follow the following:

Provide the authorities with the insurance policy information that Amazon provided you with in the case of accidents.

If any property was damaged by your Amazon delivery vehicle (such as mailboxes, fences, or even structures), you should provide the property owner with Amazon’s insurance information.

Inform Amazon Flex about the accident. Provide them with a thorough description as well as with information on time, location, damage, and other parties involved, for instance.

Provide Amazon Flex with photos of the accident, any dash-cam footage, and police report numbers – anything that you believe is beneficial for your claim.
